Quiet hotel
Pros:

Our stay in the hotel was very comfortable! We had a two bedded room with a very small balcony, which we did not really need. I usually stay on the West side but staying on the East side was much quieter ! Room was lovely, only thing was the bathroom door did not close. Continental breakfast was fine, I did think there may have been some chopped fruit. Only fruit was bananas. We usually had cereal with a croissant and coffee. Breakfast ladies were lovely, knowing exactly what coffee we wanted when we came downstairs. Bath & Body shop two blocks down (I know ladies from the UK would like to know) ! Lots and I mean lots of CVS stores on Park Avenue South ! Subway just two streets up taking you uptown or downtown, gets you to 51st street in less than 10 minutes. I was a bit disappointed as I wrote to the hotel before leaving the UK to let them know I was celebrating my 75th birthday the day I arrived and when I arrived NOTHING ! We went to the Italian restaurant attached separately our first night and the waiter was chatting to us and my friend told them it was my birthday and they came out with a lovely tiramisu with a candle which was lovely and appreciated !

A different Library Hotel...
Pros:

We normally stay at The Elysee Hotel in NYC but as this was closed for refurbishment , we booked the Giraffe Hotel which is part of the same group.
A great decision - welcoming and helpful staff, our Classic King room was comfortable, very clean, large with vast amounts of storage and always at a good temperature.
As with the Elysee, we benefitted from the plentiful breakfast and all day snacks and drinks in the lounge.

Luxurious Stay For Avergage Costs
Pros:

The property was in a superb location. It felt safe at every time of day/night and it is super near to KTown and even Time Square. I walked everywhere when we stayed here and it was the perfect central location to everywhere. The property itself was clean and the room was phenomenal. We even had a balcony which was a welcome surprise! All the staff were super kind, but there was a gentleman that I saw regularly that was always so nice and we would regularly chat. It was like seeing an old friend and he single-handedly made my time here feel comfortable and welcoming. I believe his name was Chris or Christian (he had glasses and a mustache and would work the night shift a lot, he has a pet cat that we talked about). Overall, I'd definitely stay again. The staff were accommodating, the room was comfortable and spacious, and I loved that they had a beverage/snack station in the lobby 24/7. Very nice touch!

Cons:

I didn't have anything that came up during my time here that I didn't like. The staff was great, accommodating and very polite.

We loved this stylish, welcoming, convenient, and well-run small hotel in a great location.
Pros:

Comfort, amenities, bath products. Staff went out of their way to make sure we had a refrigerator in the room and to have down-free bedding. Loved the location near our friends' place in Gramercy Park. Glad to have valet parking. Next visit we will likely take the train from DC. A very congenial and welcoming hotel. And I loved being able to have tea in the afternoon or once we returned in the evening.

Cons:

Enjoyed the availability of snacks and the comolimentary breakfast, but you need better cereals including ones that don't have so much sugar. How about Cheerios, or Wheaties, or similar. The cereals were loaded with sugar as were the snack bars - all sugar and no protein. I would recommend upgrading the selection and having more "original" oatmeals instead of packets with lots of sugar. Also, in a hotel of your quality, I would use Harney teas or similar.
One other quibble: I didn't bring lotion as I was sure you would have it , but there wasn't any in the bathroom.

Lovely,staff
Pros:

The hotel lobby was comfortable,
the elevators came quickly, and the room was perfect.

Cons:

I couldn’t find a switch in the bathroom for a fan, so had to open the door to let the steam out. And the breakfast was nice but would’ve been improved with a couple hot options: e.g.,
eggs, bacon.

A relaxing stay in NYC
Pros:

The staff was welcoming upon our arrival. The room was spacious for New York City, clean, comfortable and quiet. We had an excellent dinner next door at Audace. The checkout time is generous. The breakfast was limited but what they had was good. I had a bagel, hard boiled egg, yogurt and banana. Easy walk from the train station if you don’t have much luggage.
